1) Profit on sale will be deducted from Business Income

2) Loss on sale will be added back for business income

3) Will profit on sale deducted from business income offered to tax under long term / short term capital gain

4) Will loss on sale, whether long term or short term added back to business income above be deducted from long term / short term capital gain.  Please enlighten.
